The future of human societies is inextricably tied to our ability to adapt to global crises. In the COVID-19 pandemic, that has meant instituting public health measures and quickly developing effective vaccines. But that kind of concerted, adaptive response has not been seen yet with climate change, arguably the greatest threat to human well-being and the environment. The ever-growing risks include rising sea levels, increasingly intense droughts, famine, conflict over natural resources, and migration. The impacts of flooding, for example, are far reaching and will affect millions of people in the next two decades.
